Ngäbe Ancestral Plant Wisdom

Immerse yourself in the rich traditions of the Ngäbe tribe with our Ngäbe Ancestral Plant Wisdom. In this hands-on experience, guided by skilled Ngäbe women from the local community, you will participate in the time-honored process of extracting fibers from cabuya plant leaves.  

These carefully prepared fibers are the first step in creating the beautiful Chákara bags, one of the cultural gems of the Ngäbe people. 

This workshop offers a rare opportunity to contribute directly to the preservation of Indigenous craftsmanship while deepening your connection to this vibrant cultural heritage.
